Omaha, NE – April 23, 2014 – Proxibid (www.proxibid.com), the most trusted online Marketplace for buying and selling highly valued items, today announced that record-breaking results for the month of March helped the Company finish the first quarter with extraordinary results across the board. Online sell-through for the month of March increased 18 percent over March 2013. For the quarter, online sell-through was up nearly 11 percent year-over-year. GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) increased nearly 8 percent year-over-year for the month of March, and just over 14 percent for the quarter, as more sellers look to the Marketplace as an asset disposition solution.

“This quarter produced terrific results for Proxibid, and the month of March was particularly strong,” said Ryan Downs, President and CEO of Proxibid. “Auction companies continue to drive our core business. However, we are seeing an increase in business from large asset owners looking for new ways to sell their assets. We are also experiencing a great deal of interest from overseas customers – both buyers and sellers – as our business continues to expand.”
